Wednesday
“I’m not sure if I said something wrong or what, but she flashes me that irritated scowl I am coming to know intimately.
So I push.
“Nice to have a break, then,” I say.
“It wasn’t my idea. Mom insists on throwing me out of the house on Wednesdays.”
Well, isn’t that a coincidence.
“I’m sure the girls will love that,” I say, remembering Aria’s pack of beach brats she liked to hang out with in high school. Most of them never left so I’m sure it’ll only be a matter of time before the old gang is bac...k together.
“I’m not here on a summer vacation, Tristan. I’m a mother, making a life for my son. So hanging out with the girls isn’t too high on the priority list.” She pauses then, looking more sad than mad. Almost hurt. “Not that they would have me anyway.”
On the surface, I don’t care. I have long since learned how to compartmentalize my feelings. Aria is a pain in the ass and if I make her feel bad, well, so be it. I would take a lesson from her book, because she’s never troubled herself with thoughts about me or my feelings.MoreLess
